A balloon artist and photographer
travel the world surprising people with improvised, inflatable crowns
and offer a deep view into the nature of joy.

The simple act of
twisting a balloon for a complete stranger can make people instant
friends. This idea animated balloon artist Addi Somekh and photographer
Charlie Eckert to improvise balloon crowns for unsuspecting people
throughout 35 countries and document their reactions. Part photography
book, part sociological study, part spontaneous party, Inflatable Planet features over 200 photos from this international experiment in joy.

Addi Somekh has been twisting balloons for almost 30 years and specialises in improvising elaborate headdresses. His side hustles include teaching a critical thinking course at UC Santa Cruz and playing music with his homemade balloon bass in his LA-based band, Unpopable. Charlie Eckert is a photojournalist, living in New York City and working around the world. Reggie Watts is a musician, comedian and the bandleader on the Late, Late Show with James Corden.
